I've been struggling with ringworm for the past year, and my doctor recommended itraconazole and griseofulvin, but they haven't helped at all. What should I do now?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for reassessment, as itraconazole and griseofulvin are effective treatments; alternatives or additions may include topical creams (e.g., terbinafine, clotrimazole), oral antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, posaconazole), or laser therapy; also, ensure you're using an antifungal soap, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I'm a regular user of Pendram Plus, and it used to give me a really fair skin tone, but lately, it just seems to provide a more average fair look. I'm curious and a bit concerned about how I can maintain the level of fairness I got before. Any advice on this?

Yes continue all the medications.

I seem to be losing more hair every year. Usually, I shed about 50 to 70 hairs a day, which I know is normal, but the hair I lose has this little black bulb at the end. Is this something I should be worried about? Will new hair grow back? I'm aware of the hair cycle, so I'm looking for a straightforward answer beyond that.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm dealing with this really uncomfortable situation where my pubic hair has been itching a lot lately, and I noticed something white in that area, almost like dandruff. It's getting worse, and I'm worried it might be an infection. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Any advice?
